More year birds from 2 days around wetland and dry forest. Tried as we did, Robert, Susan, and I could not find a Spotted Rail. That was no big surprise as the species seems to be pretty rare in Costa Rica. However, I was happy to get 3 new country species, several for the year, and nice looks...- Birdingcraft

High quality additions to the year list from birding on the high slopes of Irazu Volcano: 630 Maroon-chested Ground-Dove- vies with Hudsonian Godwit for best bird of the year.

After several evenings of listening for nocturnal flight calls, I finally heard one and it was a good one for the year- 606 Upland Sandpiper- uncommon migrant in CR, I have heard it at night in the past.

A friend called me the other day to tell me about a pair of roosting Tropical Screech Owls near her house. She said grackles were mobbing them so I figured I would wait and see if they were still around the following day. Also had a list of things to do, so, said goodbye and got back to work...- Birdingcraft
